One train stuck in station, one just outside in other direction, as power to rail lost as frozen. Case of wait for it to melt, or a network rail guy to come and sort. Just happened so driver had no eta of how long before up and running again.


On up side buses seem to be running

Well, a few tasty treats would be nice while we all waited!

Maybe a coffee too?


(sorry)

I looked online and saw that there were delays/cancellations at both Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, so caught the 37 to Brixton (which was only slightly delayed) and the Victoria line from there to Green Park - was in work about 10 minutes later than usual, so can highly recommend this route if you need to get into central London.


However, the station at Brixton probably had twice as many people entering it as normal - still managed to get a seat though. Think people getting on further up might have struggled though.

So, those responsible for the roads have learned the lessons of the past few years. Were well prepared and have done an excellent job of keeping traffic moving in harsh conditions.


For those responsible for the rails, its Groundhog Day.

The live departure board for Peckham Rye is a sight for sore eyes.

Overground:


"No service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction and between Willesden Junction and Richmond to due to power supply problems caused by snow and ice. MINOR DELAYS between Highbury & Islington and New Cross / West Croydon / Crystal Palace. London Underground is accepting tickets via reasonable routes. GOOD SERVICE on other routes."

Suggest you all join twitter and follow @BBCTravelAlerts @TFLTravelAlerts @nationalrailenq @SouthernRailUK as they tweet live updates and it's the only reliable way of finding out anything short of turning up at the station. Often faster than their websites.


NOTE: Southern are already saying that tomorrow ie Tuesday 22 Jan, they will be running an amended timetable as they are doing today - http://www.southernrailway.com/ and http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-my-journey/temporary-timetable-b

Southern have to be one of the worst toc's I've seen. It was evident this morning that no preparation work at all has taken place. I can't believe they haven't retrofitted de icers to the 377's or requested support from lorol 378 to run a special diagram with their De icers. It seems as though they have just given up, roll on the thameslink takeover.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
